cpu revving

I have a bug popping up every 4 or six weeks, with no certain pattern. Basically the CPU runns at 90% + for anywhere from a day to a week, and rebooting has no effect. The CPU usage is utilized by the system according to the task manager, and this still holds true even if no apps are running. Although the solution appears to be reimaging the hard drive, there is no guarantee this will provide a stable system.

Anyone hear of this before, or isolate a culprit??

If you mean the SYSTEM process, this usually means you have either a piece of bad hardware, a bad driver, or a utility that is polling your system (like a motherboard monitor, etc).

When you see this happen, start detaching things like USB devices, network cables and devices, etc, to try and narrow it down.
